The media and politicians must recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community

We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm

Really amped for work emails arriving when my studio is in… BOXED CHAOS

(Also I’m officially a Brighton person now & it’s as brilliant as I hoped. WHOOP!)

I use Vista Print
Not cheap but quality is excellent & lasts well
Also do table runners which work as an alternative if you’re cost saving (see pic with table set up)

Good luck! Hopefully catch you at TBF…

So long studio. 8 years, 1 graphic novel published & 1 in progress, several comics & a fistful of zines plus artwork for a feature film were scratched & exorcised out in this room. It’s been emotional packing it up but we’re relocating & a new studio beckons. Back to it in September.
Images of boxes full of books & a packed up artist studio. Text reads CLOSED! On hiatus till September!

Just learned of Grief Horror as a genre & BARKING is home.
As am I.

My SHELTER series is somewhat there too but perhaps a play on that…
Trauma Unease?
Cover & comic page from SHELTER: Early Doors. A tale of Celtic folklore & urban unease set in West London 1969. Artwork features an older woman’s right arm stretched across to comfort another woman’s hand. In her left a cup of tea in which Ealga Calhoun (protagonist) is seen. Comic art features a young woman on a darkened street. She knocks on a door & greeted by a flame haired woman (Brigit) who gently guides her in to Mammy Magee’s, local matriarch & fixer of problems. Cover & pages from the graphic novel BARKING by Lucy Sullivan (1st edition) featuring a woman in a grief triggered mental health crisis along with a large black dog. 2nd edition published by Avery Hill.

We’re going dip dye.

I’d show you the results but can’t coz internet pervs. It’s ace. That’s is all)
